I smell the BOOM too @champagnecrypto! @dan is a genius and I am feeling EOS will kaBOOM bigtime when the tokens go live in June.
You are right about patience, it is key here. If you remember there have been years (2014 &2015) where bitcoin traded sideways for the whole year. While I don't think that will be the case in 2018 it is still a possibility.
So to the new boomers out there with the itchy trigger fingers, stay calm, we had a wild December but it could be months before the big kaBOOM. Listen to the General here and keep your eyes open, evaluate your position, learn as much as you can about the coins you like and blockchain in general, HODL hard!!!!
